This week, we’re going to take a look at two Hebrew words, "Lek Lekah. לך לך" They open up the Torah portion reading of Genesis 12:1-17:27—entitled, Lek Lekah.
These two Hebrew words לך לך Lek Lekah, are from the same word ילך (Yelek), but in the command form. They literally mean, "go, you go."
Their origin, however, is from the Hebrew root word "Halak הלך" which means, "to go, to move, to walk, to lead" "Halak הלך" also infers "to walk, as in the manner or way a person lives their life." And, because the usage of the word "walk" is so common in our everyday lives, we rarely stop to think about the term in light of our relationship with G-D. Consider that "the voice of the LORD GOD walked in the garden", "Enoch walked with GOD and was not", "Noach walked with GOD", and Abraham was told by GOD to "walk before Him." So, what is G-D trying to teach us about the word "הלך walk" and its role in the relationship between man and G-D? First, direction. Walking has to do with the direction you are moving. Have you ever stopped to think that all of your extremities, from your eyes to your feet, all face forward.
Forward.
Forward is a direction.
So why did G-D create you facing forward?
